that there now is, or has been, in that city and its environs, any meeting of persons in arms, attempting to form themselves into military corps. Nov. 11.—The Gazette contains an official order of the Princes* Regent, for expediting the proceedings against the dis turbers of public tranquillity—the favourers of rebellion—who have published alarming accounts, done any acts, or uttered seditious lan guage, tending to divert the minds of the people from the obedience which they owe to their lawful Sovereign. These criminals being taken and examined are to be allosved five days and no more, for their defence; after which the proceedings shall be declared to be closed, and sentence passed according to the evidence, and in the manner prescribed by the lam, that the punishment of the guilty may not be deferred, nor the inconvenience sustained by the inno cent. prolonged. If those condemned desire to plead an arrest of jud ant, 24 hours and no more are to be allowed them. 15.—The Duke de Cadoval having represented to her Hildineas, the Infanta Regent, that it is impossible for him to ac ,t.the honourable office of Counsellor of State. Her Highness , pleased to exonerate him from that office, preserving to him, however,: the honours of Counsellor of State, as to the other Counsellora of State, by the decree of 30th October last. Verliighness has been pleased to confer the dignity of Coun sellor of State, for life, on the Marquis de Olhao. To-day (the 15th) being the name day of her Majesty, the 'Queen D. Maria Leopoldina, it has been observed with the usual veremonies. The Gazettes of the 16th, 17th, and 18th, contain accounts of various congratulatory addresses presented to the Empress Regent. The sittings of the two Chambers have been very much occupied in matters of form and internal regulation. CHAMBER ON' PEERS. In the sitting of the Ilth; the Conde da Cunha, referring to the article of the Constitution which orders that a civil and a criminal code shall be drawn up, founded on the solid basis of justice and equity, proposed that the sages of the nation should be invited to compose and present to the Chambers the civil and criminal code, founded on the solid basis of the Constitution and the jurispru dence of the most enlightened nations of Europe ; and the author 'or 'auditors of those which should be approved, should receive, for the civil code, an annual pension of 1,200 milrees; and, for the criminal code, SOO milrem. This' proposal was adopted by the Clariber. Sittings of the 13th and 14th, there was a long discus. eloa on the proposal of the Condo da Laps to send an address to nisilbtjesty Don Pedro, thanking him for giving the charter to Purl, ugal. It was unanimously' seceded to, and a commission of l ig Umbers appointed to present to the Princess Regent the ad from the Chamber of Peers to his Majesty Don Pedro IV. Frankfort Papers of the 22d inst. have been re ceived this morning, but possess no feature of interest. Th . e Dukes of SAXE..COBURG, IVIEININGEN and HILDBURG, have published the convention for the partition of the territory of Saxe Gotha and Alten burg ; at the same time absolving their subjects in the tlialticts respectively ceded from their oath of allegiance. . he Proceedings in Parliament were not interesting hit night, though they related to a variety of subjects. WAITIIMAN presented a petition from Mr. s PLATTEity who sold the Arigna Iron Mines to the Company, . . whose proceedings have attracted so much IH nieet but as the petition was objectionable on many accounts, particularly as affixing an undefined impute upon the Members of theliouse, it could not be teeeiee4 and was withdrawn by the worthy Alderman. .NT. LITTLETON proposed the renewal of his Re selutionieof the 19th of Akril last relative to proceed ing/in CoMmittees on private Bills :—not as stand ing o r d er s, but as temporary regulations, with a view er ascertaining their expediency. We must refer to °lir Parliamentary Report for the nature of these Re solutions, which were all carried with the exception of one which went to require the party petitioning to de posit with the Clerk of the Fees 5001. for the payment of such costs as might eventually be awarded against Lim. This Resolution was postponed, for the pur pose of being referred to a Committee. H z 'tuts- brought forward a resolution for e confirmation of regulations made by his Majesty's Ministers. during the recess, respecting the Postage 1 W Be tween the West Indies and South America. Mr. ,l 1E mentioned the subject of allowing Newspapers t° be sent to the Colonies at the reduced rate of r u a titgei even' if not forwarded on the day of their date ; t this. subject was also postponed to a future oc casion, The application inade by Persia for the' mediation of this country in her dispute with Russia, is one of the most pouting occurrences which has taken place for • Qine tune. The geographical situation of Persia, with reference. t° our Eastern possessions, has long rendered it an important object of the diplomacy of other. Powers, to g'in a predominating influence ,over her councils,; while it has been the unceasing endeavour of this country to counteract those efforts, and to maintain. our ascendancy in the Court of the Sckut w. BuoyA 7 l ' 4l tTE was fully aware of the importance of this ob ject, and expended large sums of money for its attain ment, in which, for a time, he partially succeeded, `lid of whi c h h e would have availed himself, to our al'llnyance, had not the affairs of Europe so fully oc ,etTied th e l atter years o f hi s r e i g n. It has equally u e'sl the en d eavour o f Russia to gain this ascendancy , "1 her Ministers have totally failed, and the influence : this country has reigned triumphantly, to the exclu -Ma of that of other countries, if not to the advancement ° f the comniercial objects which we might also have had in . tem. Parini these latter objects had been partly at . - `athedi to an an arrangement entered upon for their e4mplete acci,o; - t"'emnent, when the disputes which Iglissbicaeannt Per sia lis c l t t ' 4 a - for some tune between and finally b led to hostilities a more serious character, Notwithstanding the historye o tvre en th e two countries. r those disputes, and of the commencement of the war. published by Russia, the real origin of them is to he traced to the disan. Pointi ne nt o f Russia in her.secretdiplomatic v • - tews at the Court of Teheran, and to the 41eterrnined policy which she has acted upon in eitending her Empire eastward by all means. Superadded to this, perhaps, may be assigned, as another exciting cause for the war en the part of Russia, the, necessity of her employ ;•g part of her army at a distance frorrrthe heart Of the empire; and as the submission of the nine disap. pointed her of the campaign which she expected L H Turkey, ano th er is s u e fur her restless spirits Liecame the more necessary. Under these circum "ances it is that Persia has applied to this coun t/Y to use her good offices with Russia for the 44aogeruent of - their differences, and by friendly 14 talls avert that fats-which must await her if the over "°4loing power of Russia should seriously be directed gaihat her. That it is the interest of this country to ( I . lte rlluse between these powers cannot be doubted— tc'hr .possession, of Persia being once obtained a * "corny of our Eastern Empire is weakened, and btt9ther year may witness an army of Cossacks on the ft l 4 4ta of ' the Indus. But Great Britain cannot inter at -0 a mediator , unless she is prepared, in the event dins Mediation being declined, to enforce the con -14 1414 Which she proposes as the basis of the r adjust 7 tt!- - )thieb, shpyvoulci have, mediated. Is, therefore, irruption into Persia, which' Russia meditates, so unjust in its origin, and so important in its conse quences to this country, as to warrant our interference in a friendly manner ? and, in that case, does our own character, and the importance of maintaining the in tegrity of Persia, render it necessary or expedient for us, in the event of Russia declining our friendly offices, to assume that sort of tone which might imply that we are ready to support our recommendations by means more powerful than arguments only ? Will the object justify this course ? and if it does not, what other means must we take to counteract the consequences which must ensue from the conquest of Persia ? These are all most serious questions, and require the most mature deliberation. What. course will be taken we are not yet prepared to say, but we are satis fied, notwithstanding the sneers of certain persons of the crippled state of the country, by the effect of its debt, that his MAJESTY'S Government will act with that firmness, tempered with discretion, which has hitherto carried the country through many a difficult crisis, and maintained its character as well as its in terests in every part of the world. It was reported in the City this morning, that the decline in Consols is attributable to a ru mour, that Mr. CANNING has sent a remonstrance to the French Government respecting any interference in the concerns of Portugal by Spain, at the instance of France. Quebec Papers have been received to the 27th October, but they contain no news of any importance. It is said in a paper of the 26th, that Government have purchased the Grose Isle below the bason at Cbambly, for the purpose of erecting fortifications and barracks upon it. It was understood that the old fort would be abandoned, and that the troops would in future be garrisoned on that island. Accounts have been received by the General Pal mer from Madras to the 30th July. She brings no news. Every thing was peaceable in India at the time of her departure. The Earl of Balcarras, CAME RON ; Lady Melville, CLIFFORD ; George the Fourth, BARROW ; and Sir David Scott, APTAGGA RT, from London, had arrived at Calcutta. Accounts from Alexandria, state that orders had been sent out by the British Government, addressed to the English Consul in that city, not to allow any English Vessels to clear out from thence, without the goods shipped on board are ac companied by a certificate that the property is bona fide belong ing to British merchants. Letters from Port-au-Prince, dated the Sd of October, which were received yesterday, state that a commercial treaty between Great .Britain and Hayti has been prepared, the basis of which is equalisation of duties to all nations. Mr. Fisher, one of the Vice- Consuls, was expected shortly to sail from Port-au-Prince to England, with a copy of the treaty. An order of the President had been issued, dated the SOth of September, directing Treasury notes to be issued, of one, two, and five dollars each, and to be re ceived in payment. The notes had actually been issued, but nei ther Haytiana nor foreigners seemed to like them. The amount expected to be, issued was about half a million of dollars. The reason given by the President for this was, that no Spanish money came into the island from Europe, and what Haytiau coin was in circulation was found insufficient since the annexation of the east and north. Despatches were scut off yesterday from the Foreign Office to the British Charge d'Affitires at Buenos Ayres. The Etoile denies in a very distinct manner the probability of a war between Spain and Portugal, and as a proof that all danger of such an event is past, adduces the Ainuesty of the Princess Regent. and the Decree issued by,Ferdhood. she,ROff tuguese Refugees. The following is au extract of a letter from the Foreign-office, dated October 4, 1826, addressed to the Consul-General at St. Petersburgh :—" The Lords of the Committer of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council for Trade having intimated to Mr. Secretary Canning, that it is now considered necessary to re quire Consular declarations of origin as to the produce or manu facture of those articles only which are enumerated in the annexed letters on their conveyanee to this kingdom from ports and places in Europe, I am directed, by Mr. Secretary Canning to acquaint you, for your information, with this alteration in the existing quarantine regulation,. ; and I am to desire that you will, in all cases, , pay strict attention thereto :—Cotton, wool, silk, hemp, flax, hair, leather, skins---of all kinds manufactured. Hides, furs, carpetis, ostrich feathers, sponges, rags, cotton yarn, Mohair yarn, and 'feathers generally. THE FUNDS.. CITY, Twelve o' Clock. Consols have been in rather an agitated state this morning, they opened at 8414 for money, and 84i for account ; they have since, in consequence of a heavy money sale, receded to 84 1 for money, and 841 1 for January. The Brokers and Jobbers appear to be finally adjusting their accounts, this being pay day, which is likely to go off much better than was in the first instance expected. The Bears, for the fourth time, must have suffered severely, and it is fortunate for them that the closing of Consols is so near at band. In the Foreign Funds there has been little business ; Mexican Bonds were looking up yesterday, when a sale of a considerable amount seemed to damp the speculators for a rise, they are now quoted at 68 ; and Colombian at 411 2.

(Before Lord Srowst.i..)_ In the case of a ship called the Jubilee, Dr. PHILLISIOAS moved the Court to order the execution of a decree of sale, which had gone out in July last. The object of the decree was, that certain goods in the hands of the Customs should be sold to meet a claim of salvage. Dr. Lusnrwaxow said, he was at the same aide as Dr. Philli more, and that the facts of the case were, that the Commissioners of Customs had taken advantage of a late Act of Parliament, of which every body was ignorant, to evade the decree of the Court. Sir CfinSTOrlifiß ROBINSON said he was not regularly in the case, but he took upon himself to say, there was no intention on the part of the Commissioners of Customs to offer any obstruction to the authority of the Court. Lord STOWELL said, if he understood rightly, the Custom house had power under the late Act of Parliament, to consider what allowance should be made in case; of salvage. Dr. LUSHINGTON—My Lord, there were 446 Acts compressed into this one, by which the Custom-house had the authority to ap portion the quantity of goods which might be sold duty free, but there was no power as to costs. The kinG'i Anroclas was of opinion that the course now pur sued was somewhat premature. If a motion was made for a mo nition against the Customs, it would put the matter in a regular train. Dr. Put tumouz said, that the opposition offered by the,Cm toms on this occasion was most ungracious. The Comm ordered a monition to go out, which would give an opportunity of showing under what circumstances the decree of sale had been obstructed. THE ATLAS. This case came before the Court to try the validity of a certain bond passed on bottomry. After bearing the arguments at both Lord STOWELL said, that he bad great doubts as to the juris diction of the point in this case, and still stronger doubts as to the capacity of the Court to come to an equitable judgment-- The question involved many matters connected with oriental laws and customs, of which the Court was profoundly igno rant, and instructed as Counsel must be by interested parties, the Court would not safely form a judgment upon any thing sug gested by Counsel. Under all the circumstances, his opinion was, that the parties would beat consult their own interests, by coming to a compromise, or submitting the whole case to the arbitration of same disinterested persons. The Counsel at both aides declared their readiness to accede to his Lordship's suggestion. THE MINSTREL. In this case John Allan, the cook of the ship Minstrel, had placed the vessel under an arrest for wages due to him on a voy age to New South Wales and back to London. The mariner's claim was opposed on the ground that by his engagement he had stipulated not to leave the vessel until twenty days after her arri val in port, and the discharge of her cargo. Notwithstanding this engagement however, Allan put the vessel under arrest eleven days after her arrival in the Thames. In support of the mariner's claim, affidavit was made that the other mariners had their wages paid before he took any proceedings to recover his wages. Under all the circumstances, the Court desired the payment of Allan's wages. LE PETITE VICTOIRE. In this case, which regarded a claim of salvage, made by some boatmen belonging to the Isle of Portland, the Court severely re prehended the practice of introducing an unnecessary number of affidavits. In this case affidavits had been made by no less than 40 persons, all of whom gave evidence to the same transaction. The reading of the affidavits then commenced, and occupied the Court until its rising. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—.(Tuts Dar.) (Sittings after Michaelmas Term, before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALIE and • Common Jury.) GRZATORIK V. CLARK. The plaintiff in this case is • tailor, the defendant a house-agent. The action was brought to recover the sum of 4./. be. the price of a coat, which the plaintiff bad made fur the defendant, who pleaded a set off, to the amount of five pounds, being his commission for having sold a house, the property of the plaintiff. It appeared that the defendant had sold the lease of the house, for 1051., and that the plaintiff had at first agreed to it, but afterwards re fused to ratify the contract unless he received 1201. whereby the uegociation was broken off. Mr. GIANNI', for the defendant, maintained that his client was entitled to his commission of 5 per cent. equally as if the sale had bean completed, as the plaintiff was solely in fault. Mr. Scalturrv, on the other hand, submitted, that. as the con tract, had not been efectet ui t i k t 4 s e, ►tweet the defendant * was en 'titletio.*wit . 4 11t 4 fOr K .",Mtr ***Watt' byttli , ir aarge of AL for doing what ap attorney would do for 11301. 44. was most exorbitant, and ought not to be countenanced. The jury returned a verdiet w for the plaintiff for 3/. 4s. allowing the defendant a guinea for his trouble. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—(Trus DAY.) (animas AT NISI ?RUM) ADAM v. nuiT, uAltrox AND riturE. Mr. Sergeant Sesnitx stated the case. This was an action of damages instituted at the instance of the plaintiff, who was porter to the defendant Sturt, a tvarehouseman in Wood-street, for au illegal trespass committed in the plaintiff's house, on the 12th November, 1825, by Sturt and the other two defendants, who were also his servants. Shirt had missed some of his pro perty, and suspecting the plaintiff to have stolen it, he went to his house with the other defendants without any warrant, and in sisted on being allowed to search the house, which the plaintiff was obliged to yield to. Two witnesses were examined, who proved the trespass, but that there was ne injury done. Mr. Sergeant 'Vautinxtr addressed the Jury for the defendant ; and the Cutxr JUSTICE, in summing up, strongly reprobated the conduct of the attorney for bringing such a paltry action as this into Court ; but, as the trespass was alleged, It was the duty of the Jtiry to find for the plaintiff...:-.Verdict for plaintiff—Ono farthing. BASS V. GUS ARP. Mr. Cuttstixs opened the pleadings, Mr. Sergeant SPANKII stated the case. This was an action for payment of a bill of ex change for 2001. endorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff. Several witnesses proved the hand -writing of the defendant, and the Jury found for the plaintiff---20b1. (bl. of interest). LIBEL. WRIGIIIT Y. JIRDAW h$D Mr. Sergeant V A U G RA te stated the ass.. This was an action; damages against the defendants, who were proprietors of a literary work, called the London Literary Gazette." The learned Sergeant commenced his address, by profeasing a tender regard for the liberty of the press, and sympathising with the Jury in the delicate task which they had to perform, considering the many advantage. derived to them all hoin it. But when it made false and uuwarrantable attacks upon private cha racter, it then became their (the Jury's) ditty to interpose and check itsexuberances. > It might at first eight appear strange how the plaintiff's ehampaigne could be introduced into a work in which from its very title one would expect to find nothing treated of but subject. purely literary. Strauge though it might , be, in a number of the Literary. Gazette, dated . the 2,9 th July last, they would find, under the title " Sketched of Society : Paul P r y on his Travels—Letter 14," the followi ng wor d s :—" M any persons very wrongly imagine that the art of puffing is English ; we are *A ra biy good hands at it, as all readers of newspapers and posting bills know, from Rosii's wigs down to Rowlaud's Macassar's oil, and Char/se Wright's Champagne (justly so, called, because heenahes it all himself, without the aid of the grower in Franee.)" The plain tiff conceived that this paragraph had a tendency to injure his cha racter, the more particelsrly as it was contained in a work of such v i z .... Paul Pry's Travels, whi c h cur i os i ty wo uld in merit and extensive circulation rtit the Lit erary G azette , an d under a title, duce many to read. Paul Pry, he (the Learned Counsel) understood, from those who had the pleasure of engag ing in the amusements of. the Theatre (a p l easure w hi c h h e regretted his avocations denied him), to be an inquisitive meddling fellow ; and it would appear that the Literary Gazette wi s h e d t o i m it a t e his example, by introducing the unpro voked attack shove mentioned. The Plaintiff, a few dart after .the date of the publication mentioned, called upo n the defendants for an apol og y, which they retorted to give, an d s h ort ly after ward., in another number of the Gazette, dat e d the 26th Augusts the following passage occurred under an article entitled ir j our nal of a Third Voyage for the Discovery of a North' Weet P assage , f r . e. &.," by Captain Parry," viz. it Poor fellows !"

The plaintiff had no wish to pocket any dam/fess a nd if the defendants had i choeett to make an apology, the polittO action would not have been brought; but as it was, the Learned Counsel left the case with the Jury, satisfied that they would, by their verdict, wipe away any unfavourable impression that might have been occasioned by the passages mentioned. Ball was then examined.—Was the plaintiff's book keeper ; the plaintiff carried on his business in the Opera Colon nade, Haymarket; the plaintiff always got his champagne from France. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant TADDY.—Knew that there were some lines in the New Times, and other newspapers, ridi culing the plaintiff's champagne. Mr. Serjeant TADDY then addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and contended that the present action was merely brought, in order that the plaintiff's champagne might be puffed up by Mr. Serjeant Vaughan's eloquence, and that no injury whatever had been alleged to have been occasioned to the plaintiff. lie, therefore, trusted the Jury would not allow any damages, at least not much. The Ciintr JUSTICZ summed up and stated that he had no doubt the passages complained of were a libel, and it was for the jury to mention the damages. The Jury, after a short consideration, found for the plaintiff, Damages 501. COURT OF EXCHEOURR—(Tnts DAY.) Mr. Baron GARROW sat this morning in Mai Prins. A Jury was sworn in as a matter of form, to return their verdicts in some undefended Crown causes, and the Court then adjourned till to morrow at 10 o'clock. ROLLS COURT.—(Tuts Day.) This being General Petition day, hie Honour took his seat at nine o'clock. Petitions were presented from several persons who were come of age, and were entitled to certain funds in Court. SULLBOVRNIC V. BOURN&. Mr. Suanns stated that the petitioner was a solicitor, and that the prayer of his petition was, that the Court should ()slier the payment of a certain some of money in Court, which the Master had declared him entitled to. This sum became due to Air. Melbourne, as solicitor for Lord Strathmore, and Mr. Bourne opposed the petition, simply because he desired to have all money in Court paid to himself. Mr. Aielbouras had retired from bu siness, and Mr. Bourne had succeeded him as Lord Strathmore's solicitor. It was true Lord Strathmore might be indebted to Mr. Bourne, but he was indebted in a much larger sum to Mr. Mel bourne. It would be most unjust that Mr. Bourne should re ceive all the money, merely because he made affidavit that he bad never received a shilling from Lord Strathmore ; but if this wee the case he had only to find consolation in the reflection that be had so illustrious a debtor. Mr. James BROUGHAM said be appeared for Mr. Bourne, and he doubted the authority of the Court to order the funds in ques tion to be paid to Mr. Melbourne. The Muter reported that the money belonged to Lord Strathmore, and to him alone, or under Ids authority, it should be paid. Mr. Bourne made affidavit that Mr. Melbourne had received securities for 6001. from Lord Strathmore, and for ought he knew, Mr. Melbourne might be overpaid. Mr. St/GOES—The fact of the cue is, that my client has knocked 3,3/00/. off his bill against Lord Strathmore, and taken securities for the remainder. Ilia !Tomos. said; that this seemed to him to be a motion of course. He was only called upon to carry into execution a former order of the Court. Under that order Mr. Melbourne had a right to receive the sum the Muter had reported was owing to him. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—(Tnis Day.) William Jarman was opposed by Mr. Heath, on behalf of a Mr. Gregory and some othex creditors. Insolvent had been a lodging house keeper in Fair -street, Mancheater-square, his wife still resides in the house. Insolvent stated pat he had several executions put into the house. One was by a Mr. Wheeler for 111., which was paid out by a Miss Bandy, of Pimlico ; another by a pork-butcher for 131., alio paid out by her, to whom in eolvent was indebted 9801., for which stun he give her a warrant of attorney. He had had several bills of exchange returned on hie hands dishonoured, which he had received from some of his lodgers. A distraint is in his house at present by the landlord for 411. rent. Insolvent swore that the bills were not all in the same hand-writing. Ile showed considerable hesitation, and his non mi ricordo sort of answers told very strongly agaiset him, and he pot seised a more than usually ingenious facility of opposing, " I can't say," to every question. The Court examined him as to the period he was last discharged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and directed the hooks to be searched, in order to ascertain if he had been diet• charged within the last five years.

The following young men, convicted at the last Sep tember Sessions, were this morning executed before the debtor's door, in the Old Bailey, namely, Jahn Hayes, 25 years of age, for a burglary ; George Nicholls, aged 24, for highway-robbery ; James Goulby, aged 18, for high way-robbery ; John Robinson, aged 19, for higbvray-rob bery at Bethnal-green, and Robert Mug, aged 21, also for a highway-robbery. At about a quarter to eight o'clock, the sheriffs, Messrs. Farebrother and Winchester, accompanied by their under. sheriffs arrived at Netvgate, and re p a i re d to w h at was formerly denominated the press.roo'nt, in which many an unfortunate culprit has been relieved of the weight of his irons, prior to being led to the place of execution. How ever this ignominy is now abolished, and a poor convicted culprit no longer hears the rattling of fates, or the jing ling of chains. On our entering the room, Hayes was standing at th e table engaged in prayer with the Rev. Mr. Devlrettx a Catholic Minister. He had sat up during the night pith two of his friends, and was joined by the Rev. Gentleman at half-past five o'clock this morning. On receiving the intelligence of his being ordered for execution, he was greatly agitated; but now, owing most likely to the at tention paid him by his friends and confessor, he was quite composed, and during the time occupied in pinioning his hands and arms, he behaved in the most becoming man ned. This sad duty being completed, he was placed on a bench on one side of the room, and most earnestly joined in prayer with Mr. .Deveretix. Ile was attired in a sea man's jacket, duck trousers, and had a black silk necker chief tied loosely round his neck. After the lapse of a few mimes, Nicholls entered the room ; he bowed respectfully to the Sheriffs, and Hap* made a slight inclination of the head to him : being pinioned, he took a seat on the bench next to his fellow sufferer. Goulby, who is only 1$ years of age, next entered the room, his extremely youthful appearance, excited the attention of all present. He appeared ready to faint. Robinson, one of the Bethnal-green gang, on entering approached the Sheriffs, and addressed them and Mr. %Vontner. He then advanced with a quick step to the officers, and being pinioned, said in an audible voice," God bless you." Boyce next entered. He took but little notice of what was going on. He appeared completely absorbed in thought, and opening his pinioned hand to the officers, faintly exclaimed," God bless you all." King was the last of the wretched culprits. He entered the room, crying bitterly, and seemed lost to all religious consolation, lie, as well as the other culprits, with the exception of Hayes, retired to rest at an early hour last night. The whole arrangements being completed, the awful procession moved on in the following order :-- The Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffit, Chaplain, Hayes, attended by the Rev. Mr. Devereux, Nicholls, Omlby, Robinson, Boyce, and king, Followed by the Rev. Mr. Halter and the Officers. On arriving at the outer lodge, Hayes was immediately conducted on to the drop, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Davereux, while the executioner was en gaged in adjusting the rope to the beam and placing Hayes over the drop, Mr. Baker was unremitting in his attentions to the other culprits, who were led to the scaffold one at a time. On the falling of the drop, Goulby, owing, We believe, to some mistake in placing the rope, struggled dreadfully, and, notwithstanding the exertions o f the executioner and his assistants, he was not dead till nearly ten minutes after the falling of the drop. Several among the crowd called out " Murder!" and, indeed, the feelings of the whole multitude may be better imagined than described. Owing to the number executed, the assemblage of per sons in the Old Bailey was exceedingly numerous, and a great number of Spiwitields and Betimal-green weavers were collected there as early : aa .9 1 .cleek in the morning. ~rep,llo MILLING NEWIVARKWL LARKINS ANL) ABBOTT.

After a short spar, Larkins came in, when Abbott caught "him such a teaser with his right mateley, that he hit him clear off his pins—(shouts from the boys of the yinage.)--This was the first knock-down blow, and decided the bete on that event. From this round, to the conclusion of the fight in the ROth round, Abbott Was hit down in almost every round the moment he was led to the scratch. When placed before his antagonist in the last round, h#could not stand, and his seconds gave in for him. The tight lasted thirty-three minutes, and the result of counts pro. .loyerl great dissatisfaction in the minds of the gainich admirers of the London Ring, who dropped their blunt pretty ti e&y on the ()Cession.
